"Lugar típico de Zahara donde degustar diferentes tapas calientes y frías, así como ensaladas. Espectacular el montadito de atún salvaje sobre lima, así como las tostadas de atún ahumado. Las bravas de las mejores que he probado, con un toque picante muy sabroso."

"Carta reducida, pero rica. Si quieres tapear barato,este es tu sitio. (Todo muy sabroso y servicio muy rápido).Pero sobretodo, si vas con perros este es tu sitio. Personal increíblemente amable, se preocupan por los peludos más que por los clientes (no sabéis lo que se agradece). Cuando fuimos a pagar hubo una frase que nos llegó “los perros han estado bien?” 100% recomendable."

"Experiencia buena y el servicio bien también, a pesar de estar en una zona de paso. Pedimos la tostá de atún, croquetas de gambon, revuelto de trufa y una tortilla para cerrar. Sirven a una gran velocidad por lo que si no tienes mesa, esperando unos minutos, te sientas."
